That’s the Prince of Randwick himself, preparing his deck at the MTG prerelease tourney we attended yesterday.
It was a fun, low pressure casual event in which everyone won prizes. This was good for me because I badly played a deck I had badly built 🙂
The players themselves here are pretty much the same as in the USA. Except for the funny accents Aussies have 😉
After the tourney we went and checked out the pinballs at the nearby RSL club, which led to a lengthy (and fascinating) discussion with the guy who manages it all and is heavily involved with pinball collecting.
An evening of cricket on the Telly (and more MTG playing!) rounded off a fun day.
Today – my last full day this trip – I walked to Bondi along the cliffs via Coogee Beach. I do this walk (which takes a few hours) every trip and it’s always great.
It wasn’t too hot or too windy, as if the country was apologizing for the weird weather it gave me this trip. Since it was a Sunday, the walk was extremely popular with both locals and tourists alike.
Pleasant weather notwithstanding, I was ruined by the time I got to Bondi Junction mall, and almost wept when I sat down to this:
Which was immediately washed down with this:
Tiredness notwithstanding, today was another great day!
